The New Zealand Service Rifle Association (NZSRA) is the national organising body for service rifle competition in New Zealand.
People have been shooting military rifles at targets for at least 150 years.
Much of this activity ended up as the strictly deliberate target shooting of the NRA.
In late 1997, the International Military Arms Society Inc, based in Auckland and Wellington Service Rifle Association formed the New Zealand Service Rifle Association Inc. A joint set of rules and matches was written and called the Service Match Code, now in its fourth edition.
Other clubs (BOPSRA, Waikato Rifle, Bruce Rifle Club, Canterbury group) also run SR matches as part of their overall programme.
